In future- if Allah swt permits, it should be gender segregated. young people should control themselves and not dance, and presenters should not encourage this. nasheeds can be performed but performed without haram instruments. and volunteers/workers should not hassle people for charity (we know where you are).

The exhibition was one of a kind. So many stalls of all types, under one roof. Got a lot of stuff I have been wanting to buy for some time. The kids had fun in the rides. Overall a great day out, on both days.

Excellent event to promot positive true image of islam. I would highly recomend it to any muslims or non-muslims alike to attend it next year. You can also watch Islam channel 813 on Sky.

I had travelled some distance to get to this event and was disappointed. I didn't receive the programme of this event until late afternoon on Saturday (23rd), I had to ask for a copy from a lady who was passing by the entrance. If I had it earlier I could've attended the seminars that was running at the same time. I felt as though I had wasted half of the day watching stuff I wasn't really interested in. I suggest the organisers of this event give as much information as possible so that people can choose what they want to see. The nasheeds were very good to watch but they were on quite late in the evening and as I had attended with three tired children they just wanted to go to sleep! It would be great for next time if there was a mix of nasheeds and speakers during the day so that children can enjoy it too.

It was the first time i went to any event like this one. I loved the whole show especially Shaykh ul islam (Dr Tahir Ul Qadri) and Shaykh Al- Yacoubi without people like these lovely people of Allah we would be lost. May Allah grant them a long and healthy life and help them to carry on with there work as they do to help the muslim ummah.

As an islamic event I was expected better than what I experienced such as mixing between men and woman, I fund really inappropriete especially in prayer room and the big conference room. In exibition areas items that they were selling was too expensive, I was not able to buy anything.

The worst part of this event and which I hope they will not allow many of them next year is people with charity box every 2 second someone will stop you and ask you to give money and I was really unhappy of this.

Overall, I think GPU was a very beneficial event. The lecturers were amazing, and the market area was lively. HOWEVER, I was really dissapointed with the amount haraam present, for example the musical instruments.

However, its important to note that these haram things are really easy to avoid. Do so and inshAllah you will benefit.

Overall, the GPU Event was fantastic, It was something that ive never been to and as a first experience, it was fantastic. Though we didnt get very good seats at the VIP area as too many people were walking by and maybe would like to suggest, next time sell tickets which people could sit right at the front ( I dont mind paying extra money for a good seat where I know Im taking things in).

I really enjoyed the programme on both days, and liked how there was a diversity of people involved. Though suggestions could be made to improve is, have things like islamic poems read out/ acted out. or even an islamic play or something which has a moral in it. I love doing plays with morals!!!!

One thing though that made me really think by the end of this event was, I need to do more towards islam. My aim Inshallah is to start my own project in a different country Inshallah to help raise money for the needy and provide homes for families and schools for children.I am currently a nursery teacher in a government school working around children whom english is an additional language i.e mainly Bangali children. My aim is to help these muslim children in an english environment!

Overall, I would like to thank all presenters and people who put the GPU together, and hope this carries on every year. Inshallah I will deffinately keep coming and encourage others to come too. I do feel, we should have more of this going on throughout the year, as this really benefits people and also its a way for muslims to realise we need to head towards the straight path.

Fantastic! Excellent! Unforgettable moment!

GPU 2010 was for me and my sister the first time we attend a gpu event. i traveled from hammersmith, quite far but reachable in about an hour. as we reached excel we were welcomed by friendly volunteers. as i took the first step into the exhibition i was flooded in leaflets and bags, walking around was more than fun buying from many stools and shopping for cloth and what made it more enjoyably was the fact that all the money was going to amazing charities. the arena was beautiful watching incredible and inspirational talks, the hilarious comediennes and the sensational nasheed artists.... oh and lets not forget the amazing hosts that made sure we were kept lively and on our feet the whole way!it was 100% amazing stayed the whole day on the Saturday and half the day on Sunday, i recommend going on both days especially the first day of the event which is always packed with the best shows. the only bad point i want to emphasis is the fact that they don't stick to the timetable and many acts over ran so some nasheed acts had to be canceled :( outlandish :( :(overall both days were absolutely AMAZING, UNFORGETTABLE, SENSATIONAL :) :) :)

Review 13 for The Global Peace and Unity Event

4/5

GPU Event.

GPU had amazing line up of acts performing. A mix of lecturers to singers to illusionist. There was a lot to discover and learn. I particularly liked that you could meet the acts. The bazaar had a range of different stalls which were promoting different types knowledge. However, there was a major disorganisation with the seats. Everyone sat everywhere. People were reserving seats which weren't theirs. Furthermore, the acts did not perform according to the time slot they were reserved to. Some acts were as late as 2 hours. However, all in all, it was a good event.

The event was amazing, but my issue was with VIP seat and address of the event.

Firstly the VIP was not actualy VIP.. We were watching using the scren, u can hardly see the person and over crowded.

Secondly the address was not writen on the printed ticket or on the websit. could set the postcode to set the TomTom, so I called ticket master and the person was find it using Google not on the wabsite.

Overall we had excellent time.

Outstanding event bringing the muslim Ummah under one roof to convey the message of global peace and unity, which is the foundation and true essence of Islam. A great event to let the world know that muslims can gather in such a huge scale to spread peace and harmony and not terrorism (The west's favourite name for muslims). Also a great platform for recognition of the fast spreading muslim businesses in UK subhanallah. It is improving every year and attracting more crowds. The introduction of halal menu in Excel's food outlets was admirable. Looks like British businesses are realising the need of attracting muslim consumer's. Children on half term who came got good exposure of muslims identity on a large scale. Gives them a sense of belonging in a non muslim country alhumdullilah. loved it to bits.

i really enjoyed the gpu this year especially the naseed concert and the talks the only downside i had was that there were far toooooo many charity stalls and people cuming up to u i don't mind giving as the money was going to a good charity but when u turned them away and say i have alreadsy given i felt guilty because i did not give any more and there should of been alot alot more stalls i remember when it first came in 2002 i think it was there were alot more stalls but this time i was dissappointed not to see much stalls

I enjoyed everything apart from two things which were; the shouting and clapping which I thought was not very Islamic. There should have been calls to praises of Allah instead. The Magician was Interesting but I was very angry because Magic is Shirk and should not have been tolerated at all by us as a Muslim coummunity, but on a positive note my son who is a Young Entrepreneur found a lot of help from the businell stools, and my children emjoyed the rides so much, the food was a bit expensive, but it was all for a good cause., but overall it was very good and I would reccomend it for future events.
